Living the energy transition

and being an initiator and innovator for new ideas and technologies

The Future Energy - Institute for Energy Research (iFE) is the first interdisciplinary research institute at Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences. It is our goal to develop efficient, networked and innovative solutions for sustainable energy systems. Here you can find more information about our research focus!

Case studies

The case studies give an idea about how research results are implemented in products and processes. Take a look at the practical examples!

DC2018 – Industrial DC Grids

Timespan

Mon, 11/12/2018 - 11:00
- Tue, 11/13/2018 - 15:00

Notice: The event "DC2018 - Industrial DC Grids" on 12/13 November 2018 was called off. If you have already made hotel reservations for an accommodation in Detmold, please get in touch with Ms. Denise Hohenstein (view on the right). A new date will be communicated here.

Direct Current (DC) seems to be the key technology to integrate renewable energy resources into production processes.

To avoid complex energy transition in the production process, to enable simple energy exchange between energy sources and production plants and maschines, and to guarantee an optimised storage connection in the production process, DC offers an open approach to investigate energy efficient, flexible, highly available und sustainable technical approaches towards intelligent energy supply systems in industry.

DC2018 links the idea of live demonstration, networking and providing scientifical research results. Therefore, the event aims at

informing the middle class on demands of DC technology and integrate it into the development process,

presenting and discussing the status quo of device technology and grid management,
